Transferring contacts from Android to iPhone

Hi Everyone,

I just got a new iPhone 5, and I would like to migrate all of the information from my Motorola Defy (Android) phone to it.

I have looked online at some general advice, but I am particularly concerned about getting all of my contacts from the Motorola to the iPhone. I have a mixture of business contacts (through my Exchange Account), and personal contacts (primarily on my SIM card). I am not too concerned about the Business Contacts because Exchange hosts everything on a server (so I am confident that email contacts will migrate quite seamlessly) however I am a bit lost about how to make sure that my personal contacts don't get lost. Traditionally when upgrading from one phone to another I would simply copy all contacts to my SIM and then insert the SIM into my new phone and copy all contacts from the SIM (it didn't really matter if I had to change SIMS (or by extension phone numbers) because I simply used the SIM like a flashdrive to store data). Unfortunately I cannot use the "tried and true" SIM method because my Motorola uses a normal sized SIM whereas my iPhone 5 uses a Micro-SIM (so the Motorola SIM simply won't fit into the iPhone!).

I have had a couple of other thoughts regarding how to transfer contacts -

1). Sync all of my contacts to my Gmail account (required for Android phones - in order to access the PlayStore (equivalent of the iPhone Market))
2). Download an App for Android to save the contacts to a file on my SD Card, and then download the same App for my iPhone (and restore the contacts from file)

Are there any Apps available for both the Android and the iPhone from the same developer for transferring contacts between the two types of phones?

Any general advice on how to safely transfer all of my contacts and other information (Pictures, Texts, etc) will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Davo. This may help many users who switch from Android to iPhone. By the way, to transfer sms text messages from Android to iPhone, I recommend a program called Backuptrans Android SMS to iPhone Transfer. Works great.

ARSHO was born and raised in Lebanon, and like most people from the region, immigrated to the United States 30 years ago due to the Civil War. When I first arrived, all I was thinking about was how to survive in this country and how to establish myself.

I began my career with an international airline company and stayed with the same company for over 25 years. I was just able to survive based on that income. Nevertheless, I am and always have been a very ambitious person. I love setting challenging goal and achieving them as it gives me fulfillment.
I always had the thought, feeling, and desire to something more with my life, to have my own business. However, financially I could not take the “risk” which is why I stayed with my job for 25+ years.
Eventually, I got tired of being an employee working for corporate American 9-5 everyday, under the company’s rules and regulations, driving through traffic. My ambition was growing, I was waiting for an opportunity to grab.

Two years ago, I decided to retire from the company. I checked my financial situation and knew that I was not yet “financially free,” but I took a chance. In the two weeks that I sat at home, I felt so bored not being productive. I contemplated starting up a catering company.
I had already done my planning a few years prior with Syncis through my niece. Right around the time I was contemplating what to do, she reached out to me to come and meet one of her knowledgeable managers for an “eye opening experience.” That was the magic phrase that I was waiting for. I walked into the business and it has been an amazing experience.
I am a true business owner with this company, establishing and growing my business, without a huge financial investment. Since then, I’ve learned about basic financial concepts that is necessary for each and every family to know and apply.
All I have done is to apply myself, and to work hard for my own business.
